Find HotelsIf you have an extra day, consider extending the trip to include the remote island of Mykines for its famous puffin colonies and rugged cliffs; the ferry runs only a few times a week, so plan ahead. To shorten the itinerary, you could skip the Suðuroy leg and spend the extra time exploring more of Streymoy’s inland hikes, which reduces both ferry costs and travel time.
